Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0566548A1] The invention relates to a method for making handover decisions in a radio communication network comprising a number of fixed base stations and a number of mobile units. The method utilises an artificial neural network which is an image of the real network of a respective base station and which exhibit a behaviour pattern learnt through the acquisition of information from the network. Thereafter, simulation is carried out in the neural network through the generation of a list of eligible base stations to which handover can be effected, every one of the eligible stations being given points. Thereafter, a decision is made whether, or not, a handover will be effected by the network. <IMAGE>
